Developer Epic has spilled the beans on a forthcoming major patch for the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3, which will pack Steam achievements and other tweaks.

The Steam achievements will only be available to those that installed the game through Valve's digital distribution platform, though the other changes will be available to all.

The developer also revealed that it's readying collection of bonus maps dubbed the Titan Pack, with lead designer Steve Polge telling BeyondUnreal that it will be "substantially bigger than any bonus pack we've released in the past."

No word yet on a release date, with BeyondUnreal writing that the following list of changes and fixes is "very small part" of what Epic will bring to the shooter.

UT3 actually sold two million copies worldwide on the PC, I believe. It's unfortunate that the game is such utter crap, though. Very, very few people play it online. There are only a couple hundred people playing it online right now with a peak of a couple thousand, and that is pathetic. Epic royally screwed up on this game, and look no further for proof than the fact that there are many times more people who play UT2004. Hell, there are even more online players of the original Unreal Tournament than UT3.

Had split screen...... then it be a way more valuable game. It gets kind of boring fast but it still very fun when you do it up and play every now and then and graphics are xcellent. They just needed split screen idk why they didnt they have bots and no split screen... such a waste...

And what happened to the much waunted patch for the PS3 version? It was promised at the same time as this one and even hinted at the possibility of a proper SP campaign and direct feed mods rather than the manual stick downloads of present. It should have be great on PS3 and I thought afer K/M support I might take Epic at their word but they just lied then did too little too late to save even the PC version(btw I know nobody who owns a legal PC copy but about fifty who play it either regularly or now and again)--God knows why they wasted their time on tnhis BS.

Better be a REAL single player tournament sim mode to replace or have as a seperate option than the stupid campaign dumbed down for what they THINK is the console audience based on previous...lets say, mindless console franchises.

UTIII sucks so much without that and yes, now I have the PC version with my PS3 version too.

Epic better correct everything messed up since UTIII with the obvious UT4. I'm beginning totally give up on Epic as a developer these last 4 or so years. I mean, Unreal Championship 2 was better than this and UT2K4 is the KING.
